SEND IT IN.

Mailing / Dropping off your Soul Boxes

Thank you for participating in the Soul Box Project by making  Soul Boxes and sending them in. We appreciate the donation of your time and expenses. Choose delivery options that work best for you. See tips, below.


We receive hundreds of Soul Boxes every week. Your information, sent with your shipment, helps our volunteers organize our participants' contributions and ensures that as many victims as possible are counted and honored. 


1. Please enclose the following information with your shipment. 

The Basics

--Your name 

--Email address

--Number of Soul Boxes

--How you heard about the Soul Box Project


Please tell us a little more about your Soul Boxes:

--Do you (or the maker) have a personal connection to a victim for whom a Box was made? If so, please write "I know this person" on the bottom of the Box. 

--Were these Soul Boxes made by a group or event? 

--How is making Soul Boxes meaningful to you? 


If you made Soul Boxes with names:

--If you received names from us, include the list & mark all the names for which you made a Soul Box.( It's  OK if you did not use all the names.) 

--Please list any Soul Boxes that feature  names from another source.  What source? ( eg. news, personal connection, another list) 


2. Ship via the USPS or UPS (note different addresses)  (info below) 

OR 

Drop off in Portland on the 26th of each month. See NEW drive-through Boxing Day details, below. Choose delivery options that work best for you.

SEND VIA U.S. POSTAL SERVICe

Sending fewer than 73 Boxes? A carton with no side exceeding 12 inches costs dramatically less.

SEND TO: SOUL BOX, P.O. BOX 19900, PORTLAND, OR 97280

USPS Priority Mail is convenient 

Priority Mail can be sent right from your home or office. It’s easy to do with a free USPS Click-N-Ship account, which only takes a moment to set up. 

  • All you need is a desktop, laptop or tablet computer and a compatible printer.
  • Just pay for and print a postage-paid shipping label from your own printer. 


USPS Parcel Post is more economical 

Parcel Post ground shipping costs less, but can only be mailed at a Post Office. Sample shipping rates.

  • Cartons over 12 inches in any dimension are charged by size rather than weight. 
  • For precise costs, estimate for your location and box size: U.S.P.S. parcel cost calculator.


Either way--Priority or Parcel Post--carton affects cost

Postal rates vary by size, weight, and location (sample shipping rates). 

  • Reuse boxes you've received. (Remove previous addresses & bar codes. If reusing liquor boxes, mark out all reference to previous contents.)
  • Packages not exceeding 27x17x17 and under 25 lbs can be machine-processed at lower cost. 12x12x12 gets additional price breaks.


Are you sending 72 Boxes or fewer? 

Try to use a carton no larger than 12 x 12 x 12 inches. The cost difference can be dramatic!

SEND VIA UPS

SEND TO: Soul Box c/o SYMBIOSIS PRINTING 6325 SW Capitol Hwy, Portland, OR 97239

UPS does not deliver to P.O. Boxes, and we have typically not been able to accept shipments via UPS.  We are grateful to our friends at Symbiosis Printing, a local Portland business. At this time, they are able to receive packages on our behalf.


Calculate the cost for sending the size & weight of your package via UPS.
